Sorry Dennis I messed up her name... Yes the Whilhelmina young head variety is one of my favorite coins...I have two nice toned 1 gulden coins from 1890"s...her young attractive profile greatly reminds me of the US Liberty school girl pattern piece.
It is indeed one of the nicest potraits on coins. Especcially in the Netherlands. At the time the coin was made, she was only ten (1890) The last coin with her potrait was made in 1948. It is quite a difference.
